Provisions, Papal

Provisions, Papal
1) The arrangement whereby the papacy claimed authority to nominate and appoint to any benefice within the Catholic Church, mandating the local ecclesiastical authorities to grant possession of the post. The appropriate mandates were in two different forms: (I) in forma pauperum, whereby the recipient was given the right to demand nomination to any benefice in the gift of a named patron (in England almost invariably an ecclesiastical institution); (II) in forma speciali, whereby the recipient was nominated to a specified post (used especially for cathedral prebends and bishoprics).
(Swanson. , 367)
2) Nomination or appointment to a church office; in the fourteenth century the papacy gained the right of provision over thousands of church offices all over Europe.
(Lynch, Joseph H. The Medieval Church: A Brief History, 364)
